I admit to wondering at the time the agreement was reached whether the US would ever accept any level of verification as stringent enough. The objective always seemed more about bringing down the Kim regime rather than disarming it.

Then the US shouldn't have signed the deal. Changing the terms unilaterally after the fact is one of the less likeable aspects of US foreign policy at the moment. You do, after all, need to have a reputation for honesty if you want to succeed in a nest of thieves.

I take it the N Koreans have collected on their shiploads of grain or oil or whatever and rherefore feel free to welch on the deal. Sadly, the only way to fix this is to bring NK to its knees. Otherwise it's Danegeld.
